MBD on education: November 2012
http://mbdoneducation.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Reflections of a working educator. Monday, 12 November 2012. Initiative vs systems, and how the Nelson touch is lost. This will be one for the military history fans - but please don't stop reading there, the 90% - bear with the analogy. I hope it will be revealing. Someone ought to write that on a badge somewhere in Latin. Try picturing as a head what that would mean in your school - or as a teacher in your classroom. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

MBD on education: July 2012
http://mbdoneducation.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Reflections of a working educator. Tuesday, 17 July 2012. What are you writing for? Basics we need to go back to; with raised eyebrow a few cynics will tartly observe that it's to keep students quiet for a certain proportion of the lesson and force some individual thinking in a generation that talks well but lacks attention span. What I've found is that the most powerful and compelling reason for asking students to write for an entirely public audience is this: they realise how high that bar is, and can ...

Darr; Skip to Main Content. Primary School Training Experiences. Classrooms of the future. The Times Education Supplement report (10 September 2010), showed that the professional support provided to teachers is ‘haphazard, poorly planned and poorly assessed’. Continuing professional support is often ‘unstrategic, disjointed and erratic’ and ‘lacking in overall coherence’. We offer a range of consultancy services, each aimed at achieving a positive impact on outcomes that is sustained over time. We develo...

MBD on education: June 2012
http://mbdoneducation.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Reflections of a working educator. Wednesday, 20 June 2012. Middling standards, being mean, and how every child matters. A decision to reject another: to "save" one child is by that very choice to abandon another - and just because the abandoned don't complain as loudly doesn't make it any better a choice. And the F/G who could reach E too.) Why are you investing more time in catch-up sessions than extension opportunities? Four times as important. Not some more than others. Think what it really means.

MBD on education: August 2012
http://mbdoneducation.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Reflections of a working educator. Sunday, 26 August 2012. Sophistication, smugness and sampling it all. I've had an awesome first day back today with an INSET led by the rightly well-known and -regarded Paul Ginnis ( www.ginnis.eu. And a number of the materials and examples he showed us set me thinking and offered something new - as good INSET ought, but so rarely fails, to do. Or the Guardian's shortform. Why do boys and girls do differently on this? What else do they think differently on? Couldn't I b...

MBD on education: January 2011
http://mbdoneducation.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Reflections of a working educator. Thursday, 20 January 2011. Dare I say drama teachers might use a difficult traditional play as the baseline assessment at the start of year 10, or English teachers a challenging textual extract for analysis? Quite All those Gs and Fs would be a good place to start: not so much. Things can only get better. The only way is up. So only one in six students got the EBacc? And very few at top schools? What's wrong with the EBacc as an idea? That's not right or fair! Form an E...

Reflections of a working educator. Wednesday, 19 October 2011. Schools issued with 743-point behaviour checklist. Under advice, I've removed this article temporarily from the blog. I hope to return it soon, either in full or as mildly amended as possible. Please check back soon :). Sunday, 16 October 2011. Setting homework via Twitter. So, apologies for the two-month absence. Rumours of my demise are greatly exaggerated etc. I've just moved to the Persian Gulf is all. I will never,. The student couldn't ...

MBD on education: Attendance is not the be-all and end-all
http://mbdoneducation.blogspot.com/2013/01/attendance-is-not-be-all-and-end-all.html
Reflections of a working educator. Monday, 14 January 2013. Attendance is not the be-all and end-all. How exactly did we subscribe to the myth of attendance being more important than engagement? And (c) we need to aim for people to. The value of education, not comply under threat and bribery with policing of trivia. Are you not attending? Subscribe in a reader. Enter your email address:.
